Year 2 Chapter 16 - Luna Lovegood
I ran into the Library to find no one there. I waited at the entrance for a minute and that's when I heard snickering coming from inside. I looked to see what looked like a piece of a Slytherin robe. It was moving. Someone was in there. I quickly used a spell and my invisibility cloak appeared in my hands. I didn't want to be noticed. I put it on and quietly went inside the library. I turned a corner to find three Slytherins with their backs facing me. I heard them whispering about something. The voices sounded familiar. Keen, Chet, and maybe Seriya? What would she be doing here? I walked closer, making almost no sound. In front of them, I see a pot with pink liquid in it. What is that? I think as I come closer. I take a sniff to smell lavender and rose.
"Almost finished." Seriya says as she adds some purple powder into the pot. She's looking at book and it looks like Seriya reading it in her head. The book reads 'Amortentia, a strong love potion that makes the target instantly have obsession to the first thing the target sees. This is the strongest potion that exist in the wizarding world.' I backed away, biting my lip to stop my reaction. I back up to much and I knock over a nearby vase. I don't catch it intime, and it falls to the ground with a thump.
Oh no! I think as Chet turns to the vase. "Is someone there?" he asks. I stay quiet, still into place. Keen comes towards me with his wand out.
"Show yourself!" he says. I sigh and take off my cloak, only showing my head.
"Expelliarmus!" Keen says pointing his wand at me. I yelp as my cloak falls to the ground.
"Leave me alone! What are you even doing!?" I yelled.
"What? It's not like you can do anything." said Seriya shutting the book.
"This!" I say pulling out my wand. Please work! Please! I think as I point my wand at them.
"Levicorpus!" I yell before they can make a move. With shocked faces, they float into the air and flip upside down.
"What kind of spell is this!?" Seriya cries out. Using my wand I start guiding them away from the pot. That's when I see Keen lift his wand.
"Flipendo!" he shouts. I get flipped into the air and I hit a bookshelf. I then fall to the ground. I've dropped my wand, and the tree were now released from my spell.
Chet pulled out his wand and said "Flipendo!" I closed my eyes, unable to do anything.
"Protego!" I heard a voice. I opened my eyes to see a girl with blond hair in front of me. She's wearing a purple uniform and she had her wand pointing at Chet, Keen, and Seriya. The looks to be a lot older and taller than me. "Scram!" she says as the spell vanishes. They all start running for the entrance of the library, Seriya dropping her book.
"You alright love?" the girl says turning to me.
"Y-yes. Thank you very much!" The girl helps me up helps me get rid of the potion. Then we start walking to the Ravenclaw common room.
"Um...I didn't get your name by the way!" I said as we turned a corner.
"Luna" she smiled.
"Wait! As in Luna Lovegood!?" I'm shocked.
"Yes it's me Leah! And I'm happy that I finally found you!" We hugged and continued walking.
"Thanks for saving me mom."
"Anything for you love!" mom then waved goodbye walked away when we were near the common room. I had so many questions, but I just it would have to wait till next time I see my mom. That night, I wrote a letter to dad:
